As the game industry begins its final preparations for the E3 event in Los Angeles next week, new information on some of the hottest Japan-made games of the future is beginning to trickle through the local media. Chief among those is Resident Evil 5, a title that has been on the "buy" lists of Japanese gamers (especially PS3 owners) practically from the moment its existence was first revealed in 2005. It seems fair to expect a fair amount of RE5 data to be uncovered next week, but for now, Japan's Weekly Famitsu magazine has unveiled the heroine that you're going to be fighting with in the game.
Sheva Alomar is a no-nonsense African-born lady who works for the West African division of the Bio-Terrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), the same force that hero Chris Redfield works for. She was personally involved in a bio-terror attack once, and the experience has given her a deep-seated hatred of terrorism, one that's inspired her to become a martial-arts expert and a well-trained firearms specialist. Screenshots revealed this week feature Sheva showing off a casual mastery of handguns, shotguns, and rifle; there's also a knife slung on her waist, so it seems fair to expect she'll use that as a close-range weapon.
Resident Evil 5 is set in Africa ten years after the original Resident Evil, where Chris and fellow S.T.A.R.S. teammate Jill Valentine explored a trap-laden mansion and spouted off cheesy one-liners to each other. Chris should be used to having a female partner by this point, but already tension seems to be in the air between Sheva and him. How will their relationship unfold? We may not have to wait long to find out -- no official date has been announced for RE5's PS3 and Xbox 360 release, but producer Jun Takeuchi stated last month that he intends to get the game out within the Capcom's fiscal year, which ends next March.
